The staff was removed from the fourth floor, Kamran Yusuf
A senior journalist from Islamabad has claimed that President Arif Alvi was going to announce the November date for the elections on Friday, but then two important figures went to the President’s House and met him for 2 hours.
Kamran Yusuf made this claim in a talk on Shahzeb Khanzada program and in a video on social media, which could not be independently verified.
According to journalist Kamran Yusuf, the President sits on the fourth floor of the President’s House and the staff was removed from there during this important meeting.
He said that President Arif Alvi is given legal advice by a retired judge who is of the opinion that despite the amendment of the Election Act, the President has the right to give the date of the elections under the Constitution. While the Supreme Court is also going to take up this matter.
It should be remembered that the Election Commission recently clarified in a letter to the President that since the National Assembly has been dissolved under Article 58-1 instead of Article 58-2B of the Constitution, the authority to set the date of the election is not the President’s but It belongs to the Election Commission.
According to Kamran Yusuf, this was also the context of calling an emergency meeting by the Election Commission on Friday and the authorities want to take some steps before the hearing regarding the election in the Supreme Court.
After an emergency meeting on Friday, the Election Commission announced that the delimitation of constituencies will be completed by November 30, while the election date will be announced as soon as possible.
